JSA Psychotherapy sponsors young HOYS competitor

Maddy and Kenny

This year, JSA have discovered the opportunity to provide our
assistance to an incredible rising star.

Julie Stirpe, Principal Psychotherapist at the company, frequently attends the Croft Top Equestrian Flatwork Club run by instructor and show producer Karen Talbot. It is here that Julie met 12 year old Maddy
Lee Turner. Maddy is a fellow member of the club who has recently faced significant health problems and ongoing involvement in medical care.

Despite these formidable obstacles, Maddy has remained determined not only to continue riding but to excel. Unintimidated by even the worst weather conditions, Maddy’s friends and peers at the club have observed her returning to the saddle every week to brave cold, dark winter nights and even this year’s infamous Beast from the East, all with a beaming smile on her face.

During the summer months, Maddy succeeded in further distinguishing herself by qualifying for the extremely prestigious Horse of the Year Show. This young competitor has demonstrated terrific form atop Carrock King Kenny, the beautiful dales pony owned by Bev Bowers.

Encouraged to show our support for such a tenacious and talented young person, Julie and the rest of the JSA team are delighted to sponsor Maddy to ensure that she and Kenny are equipped with everything they need to make their HOYS debut with the backing and recognition she deserves.

Maddy will be competing in the junior rider large breed mountain and moorland class on the 7th of October 2018. Other kind and generous sponsors joining us in celebrating Maddy’s efforts are Simon Constable’s Equine Vets and Country Frog Equestrian Clothing. Together we aim to make this event as magical and fun as possible.
